Show ilORE INCENDIARISM. The lire lirnd Iimdrs the Proio Tithing TarJ. The following dispatch from President Presi-dent A. O. Stnooi, of Pruvo, was received re-ceived by BUhop Preston this morning: morn-ing: "Ojr tithing yard was swept by flrelhU morula,:. Lw, about two hundred tons of hay, and hay ahedc Ko other tlAulage Wan done." From Brother lovcridje, trim was present at the blaze and crunk up from Provo this morning, and from a sjcial to the Xews, additional ad-ditional particulars are obtiineJ. Thw flames broke out at 2:10 this morniug, and as the sheds are some di'tauce from any place where fire Is keji, tile blaze was evidently the work of an Incendiary. A largo riunittrcf people turned out to aid In subduing the fire, but owing to the inflammatory character charac-ter of the material United all that could U done was to prevent the contiguous buildings from lieicg caught Forlunittely tbe tithing offices" ore rinrated from the hay and sheds by a street hence the buildings were saved. The work of nreveiitlnir thi fli"iM f ib.lHr l-nt.r r.r a priv.lo huu-o and some barns sejarated from the burning mass by a fence ras also successful. A number of horses ivtreln the shods tint were consumed, but were taken I out In time to save them. The total fos In dollars and cents I Is in the neighturhood of 1500. If the efforts to save contiguous lrop. erty had not been successful, however, a disastrous conflsgration would have been the result of the I work of the fire fiend. Some suspicion of having committed com-mitted tbe crimo rested upon a transient named Bordeaux, who was placed under arrest He u as to Us examined, on the charge of arson, this afternoon. The general belief was, however, that the real criminal crim-inal had not yet been seized. Every good citizen will fervently hope that he may be and punished according lo his desserts. |
